Previouslies:

     
  • New passenger Minsa Sol, Eborrean, is bewildered by the mental silence (now that he has no puppeteer parasite to yammer orders at him). He remains in or near the Night Sparrow, chaperoned by Zam Ello.

    •  
  • The Raven Guard think they're some kind of New Order replacement for Palpatine's previous Galactic Star Empire.

    •  
  • Thanks to a weaponized sensor ping, two Raven Guard are now apostate.

    •  
  • The "Eternal Sith Empire", who have something called a "Sun Spear" that they cannot yet turn on. It might be a ship?
    It can apparently cause an atmosphere to boil.

    It is also lined with beskar, which makes it durable as hell.

    •  
  • The Crimson Knights mission here in Vok City on Yonbiss -- led by Sir Rock Tapna, working with Leftenant Pag Dan and Portmaster Bab Sritoo -- have something called "the Sword of Khashyun", which is kinda shattered, and supposedly an ancient Sith artifact.

    •  
  • Dear So'Zen,

    I think we're now trying to rehabilitate D'Joy via the Bartertown Trading Game.

    Please pray for us.

    Sincerely, Vanya


    •  
  • Vanya's internal narrator: I did promise Almon that if he would work on being a decent Catholic, I'd be between him and what he fears. Dangit. I gotta get off this roof.

    •  

  • Things that continue to not make it onto a Highlight Reel:


     
    Vanya speaks modern Mando'a clearly and concisely, with a Tapani CT accent.

    Vanya speaks modern Mando'a to call out a Raven Guard member with Sith powers.

    Vanya speaks modern Mando'a to describe the Raven Guard as a "cowardly sorcerer" who "shames all who marched before in those colors".

     

    We'll take "Things that the Mand'alor won't believe without holographic proof" for 400, Alex!


    •  
  • Almond d'Joy as Heath Toffee:

    I learned that at the Al Saba School of Diplomacy!


    •  
  • Obviously, we are going to steal that ship.

    Her clerical adventuring team all agree to this plan.









Episode 3.09 - Escape Velocity, Chapter 6


Plot
| Mar 23, 2024


Vanya Ysadora, Davish Tam, and Reese Pieces head for the distant world of Yonbiss to rescue a lost squad of Crimson Knights but there they must confront the dire secret plans of Sargon Xan Daran before they burn through an unsuspecting Outer Rim.







 
We got attacked by a couple of Sargon's TIE fighters on our way back to Vox City. They tried to shoot down our air shuttle. (It's a repulsorcraft! If it crashes from this height, no artifacts or body parts will be recoverable! idiots!)

One lost a solar panel thanks to excellent Mentat math. The other managed to stay close on our trail for most of the trip. We stopped the combat by impeding the ability of the pilot compartment to maintain atmospheric integrity in low pressure; he has to land.

And talk with us.

 
He says he's Captain Angan Gest. He is very proud of being with the Seventh Katana. He has a mix of "the dossier on you says you are a threat!" and "what the Old Man wants is above my pay grade" that do not form a cohesive whole.

 

 
Now that we have all the parts of the key, we head for the Sun Spear.

 
It is being guarded by at least one quartet of Sargon's guards.

 
Team Outlaw Techs bring holovid of an attacking Nightsister Raid Captain and her pet Rancor, taking their ID and attempting to eat them. They want protection! Safety! Go get her! She took our wagon! She folded our wagon!

 
Davish and I make our way in through one of the subterranean access ports.

 
In short order, we start easing Technician Sammie Fadrel along to be comfortable with us.

 
We have to disarm and stun three Flame Troopers.

 
It turns out that Katana Fleet got knocked through hyperspace to another Galaxy during the Twilight assault. They blame someone for messing with their "navigation crystals" as they were en route to invade Procopia right after the hyperlane missile swarm.

The parties blamed are 1) Jedi; 2) Crimson Knights.

 
I think Sammie was no older than 15 when he joined the Galactic Imperial Army.

Twilight was nine years ago -- it was Expansion Week of 12722, so in between months 3 (Selona) and 4 (Telona). I may have the math wrong, I'm going to hedge a bit when I start talking to all the techs assigned to the Sun Spear restoration project, but I think that would have been 999:03:36 through 999:03:40 on the Ruusan Restoration calendar.

 
I'm going to start off with estimating that this was 1000 RR, see if anybody steps in to correct me.

 
And then I'm going to say "Ignite the spark."

See if anybody answers with "Light the fire!"

 
Hit them immediately afterward with the hard fact that Palpatine sent them to murder Emperor Gregor Vortapani ... only Palpatine was so arrogant as to think he had subjugated all of Mentis.

 

 

Foreman Gin Taaks liked our speeches. He takes a survey by task force among the techs; they say that they are up for helping us steal this capital ship.


That leaves us the Lieutenant to deal with, and the two Death Troopers, and maybe some of the lower-ranked Storm Troopers.

 
Also there's the emergency message about skin-wearing Killer Droids answering to Sargon.

 

The Plan:


 

  • Reese and Heath can Sense whether the count of "persons" near them match the visual count.


    •  

  • Reese and Heath have a Plan for arranging a large metal cargo crate, which shall contain Death Troopers. It shall be suspended from a magnetic crane.


    I will possibly then alert the Raven Guard about said Death Troopers, which should be an abomination.

    •  

  • Davish will use private comms channels to contact his colleagues. We need our original crew from arriving here, and the ship they should still be in/near. We need anybody who is ready to pack up and move on to the next mission, meaning "c'mon Crimson Knights, let's go to the next ruckus!". We need someone with experience as a pilot of a Capital Ship class vessel.


    •  

  • I need a meal and an hour's meditation.


    Which is going to include my own use of 1) "encrypted comms" in the sense of using the palatreum to call So'Zen and Aerena and Hicks. 2) "encrypted comms" in the sense of checking in with Jenkins about what Danar said.
